Gaudí & Must-See Landmarks, 6 of 7: Casa Vicens




Gaudí's first major building, finished in 1885 and now a house-museum across three floors and a small garden. Inside are the original tiled smoking room, dining room, and decorated ceilings; outside, green-and-white checkerboard tiles and marigold motifs cover the facade. Kids can climb to the rooftop terrace with its chimneys and walkways. The phone audio guide covers 16 languages, and small-group guided visits run in English.
